COARSE GRAINS LEVY REPEAL REGULATIONS 1999 1999 NO. 123

Statutory Rules 1999 No. 123

Issued by the authority of the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry.

Coarse Grains Levy Repeal Regulations 1999

The purpose of the regulations is to repeal redundant regulations.

Section 8 of the Primary Industries (Excise) Levies Act 1999 (the Excise Act) provides that the GovernorGeneral may make regulations prescribing matters required or permitted under the Excise Act or that are necessary or convenient to be prescribed for carrying out or giving effect to the Excise Act.

Background/context

The Excise Act provides for the imposition of levies that are duties of excise that may be applied to the produce of a primary industry. From 1 July 1999 the Excise Act will subsume a number of levy Acts including the Coarse Grains Levy Act 1992.

With the commencement of the Excise Act and the Primary Industries Levies and Charges Regulations, the Coarse Grains Levy Regulations, which include coarse grains provisions, will become redundant. It is good administrative practice to repeal the unnecessary regulations.
